The surf

I took the picture of a couple bathing in the Tangalle surf last month. Swathes of the beach front have been bought up by foreigners on a 99 year lease. Tourist guest houses and cabanas  line this area.

Emerald Dove.

I heard this bird on cooing away in a rubber plantation around 4pm. I spotted it and went below it to take a series of pictures. It did not fly away. It seemed so intent on its cooing.

Juvenile Shikra

I took this picture of a Juvenile Shikra at, Kudagama Road, Avissawella. I was able to take my time taking pictures as the youngster seemed scared, to fly away. There were crows nesting closeby. It stayed on this coconut tree for nearly two hours.
